The white egg shaped transport pod comes to a halt in front of Demi, the shiny glass front smoothly opens upward with a satisfying his of the hydrolic pistons. A friendly A.I. voice of CAM invites her to take a seat in one of comfortable looking chairs facing each other, two on each side. The door closes.

Demi drops in to one of the front facing chairs. The voice asks where she would like to go.

"Vern Block Appartement 26B, quickest route" she replies

"Expected Travel Time will be six minutes and twenty three seconds" the Artificial Intelligence confirms as the pod start moving out of the station. It smoothly accelerates trough the glass tube. Demi stares out of the window, as the white fittings that connect the tubes rush by every fifty or so meters.

She takes in the city as she peacefully glides between the high rise towers of the central business district, Giant glass structures with flowing shapes, most of over a hundred stories high, accentuated by a terraces with trees and other plants every four or five levels.

At the ground level the business district is a basically one big park where the building and public squares are connected by meandering paths.

Demi thinks back on her day, although not very eventful it had been pretty good so far. She had spend most of it in her office, working on the designs for a new office building. Like the buildings she is passing by and the one she works at, it will have numerous private offices, that anybody could request to use for free for any period of time, as well as open shared flex spaces where people could come and work together.

The building had been commissioned by CAM, or the City Artificial Manager. It is the AI that manages the city. Outsiders might think that CAM rules or controls the city. But this is far from the truth. CAM merely manages it, it people that decide what is needed, they make requests, CAM tries to comply autonomously, but any major decisions it has to make will be put in front of a board of qualified humans

In this case people requested places to work, CAM tried to finding workspaces, but realized the city was running out of empty offices, it proposed a location, a general shape, size and functions. A group of qualified city planners where asked to approve this plan. Before architects where commissioned to come up with a design. In this case Demi was the one to pick up the job.

After Demi finishes, her work will be checked by CAM as wel as other architects. CAM then will come up with a plan on how to build it which will be checked by a board of structural engineers.

Finally the structure will be build, mostly by robots, but a team of craftsman will take care of the finishing details.

After the office is completed, any citizens requesting a place to work might be assigned any of the offices for free like anything in the city.

As Demi requested the fastest route home the pod starts moving towards ground level. Eventually it goes underground completely and speeds up even more.

A few minutes later the pod surfaces again, but this time the tubes meander trough mid and low rise buildings of the housing district.

Buildings in organic flowing forms, with facades made of white bio-plastic, wood, and glass, accented by patches of greenery, effortlessly flow in to one and other and the surrounding landscapes. Eventually the pod goes inside a building and comes to a halt inside Demi's apartment. The glass domed door opens up wards and CAM announces that she has arrived.

Demi drops on her couch and start browsing for something to eat. "Already had a burger yesterday" she thinks to her self. Eventually she settles on veggie nacho's, her own recipe that she came up with a few months ago. She could make it her self, but she decides to be lazy and let CAM make it.

A few blocks a way an automated kitchen springs to life. Preparing the dish in the exact manor as it observed Demi do it. Once it is done it automatically get neatly packaged in to a bamboo box and send trough a pneumatic tube directly to Demi's apartment.

In the meantime Demi watches her favorite content creator on her holo screen. A guy named Josh who build useless inventions, this video he is creating a steam powered toothbrush, just as Josh is about to stick his shoddily build invention in his mouth the food arrives. Demi digs in as Josh screams when steaming hot copper, predictably, touches his thong, and his friends are all rolling on the floor laughing. Men, Demi thinks to her self, why do they want to hurt them selves so much. And why do they think that is funny?

After dinner she gets a message from her best friend, Sarah, they ask if she want to go out for drinks together. Demi was planning on doing some more work tomorrow morning, but that can also definitely wait until tomorrow afternoon.

A short pod ride back to the city, and Demi meets Sarah in a nice bar. The interior has dimmed lights, dark stone walls and modern wood accents. The many plants give it a jungle vibe.

"So, how is it going? I haven't seen you in like a week!" They ask.

The two of them catch up, talk about their jobs, while a robot keeps pouring them fancy cocktails.
